Kim Klaussen's "Texture Tuesday" & a Poem "Latham Park School"

as Willa Cather publishes "The Way of the World",Roosevelt becomes a Rough Rider,

the Battle of San Juan Hill bloodies history,

Annie Oakley offers McKinely fifty "lady sharpshooters"

George Gershwin is born,

Sherlock Holmes rushes to print,

Russian Czar expels Jews from his cities,

an automobile reaches 39 mph

with braids in disarray,

bosom friends resume recess

a new century
cradled in their hands.

This is for Kim Klassen's "Texture Tuesday" Back to School Edition. I used "paper script II" Click on over and see what she is all about... on-line classes and "freebie" downloads. It is a lot of fun!

My grandmother, Marguerite Hutchins is in the center.

I was going to write about their clothes, but somehow the poem became something else. If vintage clothing is of interest to you, please check HERE . It is a fabulous fashion site - I have never come across one with so many beautiful vintage clothes. I have it set for "children's fashion", but you can browse around as you wish.

Let Life Happen

"What should I say about your tendency to doubt your struggle or to harmonize your inner and outer life? My wish is ever strong that you find enough patience within you and enough simplicity to have faith. May you gain more and more trust in what is challenging, and confidence in the solitude you bear. Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right in any case." (Rainer Maria Rilke) Furnborg, Jonsered, Sweden, November 4, 1904 Letters to a Young Poet
